Alone on an alien world, Rik Holly had recently lost the love of his life. Events have consequences. Before her passing, Jen’s last communication to the Taman homeworld would be detected and traced to the blue-water world known as Earth. Two offworld races, working as one, will push the lone Taman archeologist into protecting the people that he and Jen loved so much. This is a story of pain and conflict, but also one of honor and responsibility. Rik will learn to deal with his loneliness, though the man was never truly alone. A woman from Earth, Celia Duran, will be introduced to an offworld culture that will push her limits, and expose her to new elements of danger and adventure. Involvement has consequences, which is something Celia will learn, and something that Rik will remember from a time gone by. This is a complicated tale, written for all age groups.
